Electronic Whiteboard, Method for Displaying Data, and Image Processing System

1. An electronic whiteboard configured to display a display image on a display, the electronic whiteboard comprising: one or more hardware processors; and one or more hardware memories containing programming that causes the one or more hardware processors to: authenticate a user; set a sender e-mail address field of an e-mail to an e-mail address held by the electronic whiteboard, and to transmit the display image to a destination specified by the user, by an e-mail; the sender e-mail address field indicating a transmission source of the email; and in a case where authentication of the user has succeeded, set the sender e-mail address field of the e-mail with an e-mail address of the user based on user identification information for identifying the user; wherein in a case where the e-mail address of the user associated with the user identification information does not exist, the one or more hardware processors sets a name of the user associated with the user identification information, to a body or a subject of the e-mail, without replacing the e-mail address of the electronic whiteboard in the sender e-mail address field of the e-mail with the stored e-mail address of the user.

2. The electronic whiteboard as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the programming causes the one or more hardware processors to: receive editing on the displayed display image.

3. The electronic whiteboard as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the programming causes the one or more hardware processors to: obtain the user identification information for identifying the user in the case where the authentication of the user has succeeded; store the display image in association with a plurality of user identification information of a plurality of users; read the display image, in the case where (i) the authentication of the user has succeeded, and (ii) the obtained user identification information is among the plurality of user identification information associated with the display image.

4. The electronic whiteboard as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the programming causes the one or more hardware processors to communicate via an RF tag reader with an IC card carried by the user, to obtain the user identification information for identifying the user.

5. The electronic whiteboard as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the programming causes the one or more hardware processors to: in a case where the RF tag reader has detected the IC card in a state where authentication of the user has succeeded, and at a predetermined time before or upon a logout of the user, to associate the display image generated by the user with the obtained user identification information, and to store the associated visual information.

6. The electronic whiteboard as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in a case where the destination only includes the e-mail address of the user associated with the obtained user identification information, the one or more hardware processors read an e-mail address associated with the obtained user identification information, or does not replace the transmission source with the e-mail address of the user input on the electronic whiteboard.

7. The electronic whiteboard as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the programming causes the one or more hardware processors to: determine whether the authentication of the user has succeeded or failed by using card information of an IC card carried by the user.

8. The electronic whiteboard as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the card information includes at least a user ID and a password.

9. The electronic whiteboard as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the user identification information includes at least the user ID and the password.

10. The electronic whiteboard as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware processors sets the sender e-mail address field of the e-mail to an email address of the electronic whiteboard.

11. An electronic whiteboard configured to display a display image on a display, the electronic whiteboard comprising: one or more hardware processors; and one or more hardware memories containing programming that causes the one or more hardware processors to: authenticate a user; set a sender e-mail address field of an e-mail to an e-mail address held by the electronic whiteboard, and to transmit the display image to a destination specified by the user, by an e-mail; the sender e-mail address field indicating a transmission source of the email; and in a case where authentication of the user has succeeded, set the sender e-mail address field of the e-mail with an e-mail address of the user based on user identification information for identifying the user; wherein the one or more hardware processors replaces the e-mail address of the electronic whiteboard in the sender e-mail address field of the e-mail with the stored e-mail address of the user, and sets the e-mail address of the electronic whiteboard to a body or a subject of the e-mail.

12. An electronic whiteboard configured to display a display image on a display, the electronic whiteboard comprising: one or more hardware processors; and one or more hardware memories containing programming that causes the one or more hardware processors to: authenticate a user; set a sender e-mail address field of an e-mail to an e-mail address held by the electronic whiteboard, and to transmit the display image to a destination specified by the user, by an e-mail; the sender e-mail address field indicating a transmission source of the email: and in a case where authentication of the user has succeeded, set the sender e-mail address field of the e-mail with an e-mail address of the user based on user identification information for identifying the user; wherein in a case where the e-mail address of the user associated with the obtained user identification information has not been obtained, the one or more hardware processors sets a name of the user associated with the obtained user identification information, to a body or a subject of the e-mail.
